Ah, 1X is a pretty sore subject around here. Get The Grey Wolves 1.1a super mod and be happy! Remember to do a clean install...get rid of all orphan folders and the folder in MY DOCUMENTS named SH3. Get the 1.4 correct patch, then load in TGW mod. GWX will be out shortly to load up. It is in beta testing now.

Ships that take an hour to sink. You answered your own dilemma, hit the sweet spot in the GW mod and she will blow up and break in two. This mod was an attempt at realism and it did a find job of it as well! If you are looking for the one hit kill everytime here you will probably not find it as often as you like.

No one will flame you for your opinion on certain mods or aspects of the game.

Welcome aboard Swab!

OK I understand you want me to get GW's and I'd like to give it a try. Can you have multiple installations of SH3 on your hard drive?? Just name the second one something like SH3a?

Would be a great way to have one there just for trying out mods.

Welcome to the best Sub Forum.

Have a search of the forum and you will find plenty of ways to have multi-installs as well as the correct tools to accomplish that.

3 Supermods:
GW 1.1a
NYGM 2.2
U-Boat War Ace

Find your feet, then try them.

Enjoy your stay

Hello and welcome to SubSim

as the others said the 'Med mod' is a bit of a sensitive topic, so it's better if you approach it with caution. As far as the mods and the game are concerned there are two basic 'supermods' GW and NYGM. Both of them are brilliant and it really depends on the individual which one you like. I suggest you have a look at both of them. I play GW and I think it's the best package out there but that's of course a personal opinion.

On the subject of ships have a look at this http://www.communitymanuals.com/shii...hip_Weak_Spots
I think it will help you. Another little program you can use is SH3 Commander. It helps you manage your crew and edit your patrol areas etc. It's a must!!!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Good Luck and Good Shooting

Rgr that. 1X time compression is what I was talking about. I guess there is something else out there referred to as IX.

Well, there is the type IX uboat and then there is the payware expansion pack made by X1 software. We had a pretty heated discussion regarding the X1 the other day so it might be that people are now seeing X1 everywhere.
